On the QSG it only provides the front panel body but in User Manual / User Guide, it consist the side panel, front, back and top panel body. That absolutely better than only the front side.

This would be important due to the touchscreen is usually had a difference approach on how you can receive and make a call. Such as you had to slide to unlock the screen then you can receive a call instead of tap because the is no physical call and receive key. See the detail about this on the User Guide of HTC Explorer page 38 to page 48.
